Detective Sergeant Chris Williams said: “Despite two individuals being very quickly arrested our investigation has only just started and so I’m appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time and may have witnessed any suspicious behaviour to contact police.

“Fortunately no one was injured however I’m sure the experience was traumatising and for the victim’s sake I’d ask anyone with any information, no matter how insignificant they think it is, to pass onto police immediately.”
